White House fault. The former Obama official: Amateur Time

An official statement from the White House has resulted in publication with an enormous error in public view. This, once China and Taiwan are confused.

After Donald Trump's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the G20 summit in Hamburg, the American presidency's press release calls the Republican counterpart the president of the “Republic of China”.

This is also the official term of Taiwan, since Xi Jinping is actually president of the People's Republic of China.

This is not the first time the White House has done such a thing. Earlier, she had named Shinzo Aben president of Japan, at a time he is prime minister.

However, the version of the declaration on the White House's official website on China has already been corrected and written “President Xi of China”, as was the statement on Japan.

However, these gaffes have not gone unnoticed by social networking users. And that's exactly where administration officials have fallen “Trump”.

Chris Lu, a cabinet secretary at the White House under the direction of former President Obama, wrote immediately in “Titter”. “Oh, the White House just referred to Xi Jinping as leader of the Republic of China, which is actually Taiwan”, associated with status with hashtag #oraematorism.

The precise definition between two extremely similar official names at first is very important for two neighbours who have strained relations. China considers Taiwan to be a renegate province, which must join its land borders.
